FAQs

What vehicles is this oil suitable for?

Mobilube 1 SHC 75W-90 is designed for manual transmissions and differentials in a wide variety of vehicles, including VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Ford, and Renault models. Always check your owner's manual for compatibility.

How often should I change the gear oil?

Follow the service intervals recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. Typically, gear oil should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or every 2-3 years, depending on driving conditions.

Can I mix this oil with other types?

It is generally not recommended to mix different types of gear oil. For optimal performance, it is best to use Mobilube 1 SHC 75W-90 exclusively.

What is the correct fill quantity for my vehicle?

The fill quantity varies. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct amount. Overfilling can cause damage.

Where can I dispose of used gear oil?

Used gear oil should be disposed of at a recycling center or a local waste disposal facility that accepts automotive fluids. Do not pour it down the drain or into the environment.

What does the 75W-90 viscosity mean?

The 75W-90 viscosity rating indicates the oil's performance characteristics at different temperatures. '75W' refers to the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, while '90' refers to its viscosity at high operating temperatures, ensuring proper lubrication across a wide range.

Is this oil suitable for limited-slip differentials?

While Mobilube 1 SHC 75W-90 can be used in many differentials, it is essential to check if it's compatible with your limited-slip differential. Some limited-slip differentials require specialized oil; consult your vehicle's manual.

How do I know if this oil is compatible with my vehicle?

The best way to ensure compatibility is to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact a qualified mechanic. The manual will specify the correct gear oil specifications for your vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Gear shifting is rough or difficult.

Check the oil level and top up if necessary. If the problem persists, the oil may need to be changed or the transmission might have internal issues; consult a mechanic.

Noisy transmission.

Check for leaks and verify that the correct oil viscosity is used. Consider a professional inspection if the noise continues.

Oil leak.

Inspect the drain and fill plugs for proper sealing. Tighten if needed, or replace if damaged. Check seals if leak continues.
